Anyone
who spends time outdoors in the sun needs to take important steps to prevent
skin cancer. Those who must work outside during 10 am to 4 pm, when the sun is highest in the sky, must be especially
careful. Even when the sky is cloudy, you can sustain sunburn. An umbrella will
not protect you against damaging rays that reflect off the sand, ocean, or concrete.
So to protect yourself:

always wear sunscreen
with at least SPF 15

wear a hat with a
brim of at least three inches

wear light clothing
with a close weave that doesn’t allow sunlight to pass through
